The main set ends with the classic Cuts Like a Knife, giving us a reminder of pretty much where it all started. and Bryan himself just seems to have a voice that is incapable of hitting a bad note, still as strong as ever at 62 years of age! He makes great use of the massive video backdrop tonight, particularly for this track, and of course has the ultimate pause before a big riff moment, perfect.īryan's band, many of whom have been with him since the early days are superb, in particular Keith Scott on lead guitar who plays with great skill and energy all night. It's a fantastic song and probably the biggest singalong of the night but it's followed by, in my humble opinion, his most accomplished offering, and best song Run To You. Songs like Everything I Do and Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman give some of us a chance to nip off for a beer, always watching the clock, nervous we're going to miss Summer of 69, and we're right to be nervous too as he plays the natural encore (I guess at some point over the years it had to be relegated into the main set) two-thirds of the way through the set. The Canadian Rocker (I believe it's law to refer to him as such) has two types of song, the all-out rocker and the ballad and of course we get the latter aplenty. This song contains one of my favourite pause before a big riff moments, you know the one, it's super effective, and it's not even the best such moment tonight.
Heaven is next and a few tears a shed as all the couples look each other in the eye, he does the cheese so well.Ī couple of songs later and Bryan announces that he originally "did this next song with Tina Turner" he then motions to the back of both sides of the stage as if to welcome her, then says " and tonight.she's not here!" We all have a laugh as he and his super tight band kick out It's Only Love.
#Straight from the heart bryan adams full#
The instantly recognisable riff of Somebody rings out and pretty soon we're all shouting "I need somebody, somebody like you" back at Bryan and the band and this gig is in full swing. A track from latest album So Happy It Hurts, next up is Can't Stop This Thing We Started which properly gets the singalong started.Ī few songs in and we get a couple in a row from 1984's remarkable Reckless album. There's no support act tonight, seemingly so Bryan can give us an extra-long set and he kicks off with Kick Ass. Tonight it's time to go a bit mainstream, embrace the cheese and listen to Bryan Adams crank out the hits.
So far, Music-News have been lucky enough to join in the Oasis singalong with Noel Gallagher and the High Flying Birds, then witness a jaw dropping virtual smack in the face from Trent Reznor's Nine Inch Nails. This year, the Eden sessions has seen a proper mixed bag of diverse acts, the key ingredient being quality, but, as usual, there has been something for everyone.
